Am I correct in saying this kernel only works for LUPU 5.25, and if so, how do I do whatever needs doing?

The kernel must be built in from the start..
These kernel pets are only for building with woof...
But they are not limited to any particular puppy..
Mine is 5.25 based, but there is also an spup, and IcePuppy (5.11), based on them...I have woofed a T2 pup from 2.6.38.4 as well.._________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

@pemasu, thank you for these...
And I fully welcome, and in fact need, your input here..
You are much more knowledgeable on this than I..
I just started this to steer the other kernel builds somewhere beyond tying up your Icepuppy thread and playdayz EZWoof thread....

@Aitch, if you want to try it, 5.39 is almost 5.25 exactly, albeit the addition of FF, the Intel stuff, and a few toys...Beyond that, and the new kernel, it is the same...I just gave it a 5.39 name cause there are already several 5.25xx names afloat...
Should I get it to where I am satisfied, I may give it its own name and thread...
Probably the last "Lupu" thing I`m gonna do...

Thanks @Puppyluvr for your assistance. (I did pick up on why you started this last week). Great work

I have had success with the following:
Running JamesBond's Netboot on a separate PC, I am able to boot several of my PCs over the LAN without going from ISO to CD. In each case, I had no video issues getting to your PUP539 desktop(s).

In each case, I

reset the hostname+timezone+numlock in Personlize Settings at desktop start

open a terminal, type "retrovol", and Unmute audio

used QuickPET desktop icon to Update PPM

used PPM to add SAMBA 3.5.6 to the systems

tailored SAMBA for simple sharing of a folder and printers on each system

And I now have 4 systems simultaneously running on LAN with equivalent functions that we would get from a new Window 7 32bit system. These systems have all RAM (especially those systems with more than 3GB+) available, as we should expect.

These systems are fast. Performance is smooth.

Hope this helps_________________Get ACTIVE Create Circles; Do those good things which benefit people's needs!

Hello,
Just realized 5.39-SCSI has FF 3.03 still...
I forgot to move the directory... _________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

Many thanks....I had thought I had to install 'a kernel' into an existing Puppy, somehow

I've d/l'd, burned and am running/posting from 539SCSI

Just had to run the personal settings [initial video was skewed/squashed to the right] as I use 1024x768 on an old 15" tubed screen, intel chipset
Run Network wizard, Install FF, running Alsa Wizard to reset volume mute [didn't know about retrovol].....ay, voila!

Many thanks....btw, pleased to report that 3G dongle is easy to use with LUPU, as I set one up for a friend last week....just had to find the settings for 'Three UK' APN, user, and pw

Now, I'll have to go dig up an old server box and try the SCSI.....do you know if it'll boot from a SCSI drive, or are we still in need of a FAT32 partition with a boot folder on?

Nice!!

I'll try the video driver tweaks, and have a play...is there a bubbles/gems pet? [ha, I'm getting lazy.... ]

Hello,
The SCSI iso should boot from a scsi drive...
Unless it wont, which is an error...LOL
The pets from quickpet and PPM should work fine...
The only one I can think of ATM, that will not, is VBox, as it is kernel specific..._________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world

OK, Xorg high recommended and loaded OK, however....maybe my kit, but an external Belkin powered USB2.0 hub and its contents/flashdrive/external speaker amp not recognised....I thought they worked in LUPU 525...I'll check

Hope you're right about the SCSI, there are precious few working SCSI puppies

Finally, should Xorg_HIGH still be used for Intel chips (i.e. 945 chipset)?

Hello,
The 5.25 update should work the same, as the build is 5.25 exactly, with a few add ons.
And XorgHigh is built in, as is xcompmgr...
Built it around my Intel machine...._________________Close the Windows, and open your eyes, to a whole new world
